IMPROVEMENT IN MOTORS.

Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 221,424, dated November 11, 1879; application filed February 21, 1879.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN ROMIG, of Mifflinburg, Union county, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in M0- tors, of which the following is a specification.

Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings are, respectively, side and front elevations, the former in transverse section.

The object of the invention is to lessen the foot-labor in operating the treadle, to simplify the mechanism, and to diminish the cost of motors.

A represents the ordinary sewing-machine balance-wheel, having a boss, B, on its hub, that is covered with rubber and rotated by a reciprocating yoke, O. This yoke has been hitherto connected bytwo rods radiating therefrom to a hub loosely arranged upon an independent fixed pin or shaft, said rods being attached by a lateral rod to the toe end of the treadle.

I dispense with thehnb, its shaft or pin, and

rocating yoke 0, connected directly with the treadle D by the rods E E, one pivoted at the toe and the other near the fulcrum of the treadle, as shown and described.

JOHN ROM IG.
